CFGI reviews

Many cons at CFGI 1) The pay is terrible. The firm uses COVID-19 and changes in the market as an excuse not to pay people while they have record years. In addition, they will throw out the bs about the OT bonus and that you can get 5 percent on bringing in business as a means to give you an under-market salary. Everyone I know who left the firm got a 30-50% increase in pay and is a large reason why there is turnover 2) 401K match is a joke and health benefits are even worst 3) The only concern of the MD teams are the bottom line and keeping the profits at the top and with the private equity firms that own them. The interest is more on them than putting the capital into investing in their people 4) Some people are hit or miss, You have some amazing people and then some workaholics and/or people with no life where CFGI is all they have. It is important to identify those people early and avoid them at all cost, because working with them on projects makes the whole job lackluster

-Growing Too Fast: The group has gotten bigger quickly, and we don't have enough support staff. This makes things a bit messy at times. -Weak Benefits: The health plan and paternity leave could be much better. -Tricky Overtime Rules: You have to work extra hours consistently over the year to get a good overtime payout, which can be hard.
